    Anyone with a working brain didn't need this lady to tell you that, but Cult 45 still won't believe it.

    Trump cares about his base supporters, the ones you see being interviewed at rallies, to the extent they have a vote.

    In years to come, people will read books about this sort of thing and wonder how he - or any politician - could be so brazen in their coarseness towards voters.

    I couldn't respect, let alone vote, for a person that talked so dismissively about the people they are supposed to be in service of.

    And if those books are honest, they will lay out the radical national turn to the left, the bipartisan selling out, corruption, and suicidal spending, that preceded the desperation and distrust that found a voice in that most peculiar candy/POTUS/xPOTUS (POTUS again?), DJT.

    a lot appear to simply not believe it. I saw a woman post on Facebook the other day that she's never read anything about Trump cheating on his wives.

    No, sorry. There's nobody but yourselves to blame for wholeheartedly joining the cult of a convicted felon, racist, rapist, moronic, traitorous, selfish, imbecilic kook.

    We learn as children that we don't get to blame someone else for our actions. Why would you traitors-at-the-ballot-box get to do so as adults?

    If that is the case, it's safe to say that she's never read anything. Period.

    Traitors at the ballot box for voting for policy over person? I’m not a fan of Trump but I still align more with the policies of the right and not the left. I must be traitorous.

    The "traitorous" tripe is just attempts to bully votes.

    I wont vote for Trump. But I certainly understand the sentiment of wanting to see the sprint towards anything goes slowed drastically.

    I long for the day when my conscience lets me do that again with a person i could trust in the room with my wife and daughters.

    So someone can call you a moron, but you'll brush that to the side and still support him because "policies." Interesting.

    Lol - "policies."

    And yes, voting for someone who enacted a criminal conspiracy to overturn an election.....and to deny the votes of 10s of millions of people is indeed being a traitor to our country and democracy. No question whatsoever.

    A persons ability to “brush off” what other people say is a skill more people should try to acquire.

    Here is an honest question. Which of his policies do you think represent you?

    Putting 'policies' over character comes at a risk. How can you trust a man who lies about the past and the future to fulfill his policy promises? How can you trust a man that has shown such anti-democratic tendencies to honor his commitment to faithfully serve? Should a man's words and deeds be considered when choosing a leader?

    If a carpet cleaner performs the best cleaning (policy) in the county, would you invite him into your house and among your children if he is a notorious thief and pedophile (character)? You might get very clean carpet but it comes with risk.

    I have seen 'policy' used as a rhetoric "safe haven" to justify voting the trump. The response to your challenge seems to fall short every time. "I support tax-free tips and am willing to risk our democracy for it!".

    I think a better comparison with trump is the carpet cleaner doesn't clean (has no policy) and is a thief/pedophile.

    He didn't say you're a traitor if you don't vote for Trump.

    He was questioning the notion that voting for Trump makes one a traitor--which was as it turns out, suggested by gatordoh! (I had to go stealth mode to figure where that came from (why I have that clown on ignore)).

    Of course he mocks and insults them! This is a guy who craps on a golden toilet - he wants zero to do with the 'basement dwellers" (his words not mine). For any rightie to think otherwise is so unbelievably misguided, there are simply no words.

    Remember Vegas two months ago where at one of his rallies where people were fainting in the 100 degree heat? Trump told his supporters right then and there - and I quote "I don't care about you, I just want your vote. I don't care."

    And the cult just brushes it aside, sends money and buys his cheesy merch. This guy doesn't give a rats ass about any of you who worship him, or anyone else for that matter - yet the cultists follow believing he is fighting for them. Keep sending the billionaire your money LOL!

    Mind-boggling how blind and obtuse some people can be.

    But not in the case we are discussing.

    You're going to cast a ballot for a guy to be President who said immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country. "

    Guess we just need to brush that off. It's just words. Right?
